Does anyone know where I can get a 25-35 sleeve for an old single shot rifle. Or, a possible replacement octagon barrel in 25-35?

Carl,
Have you removed the barrel from the rolling block? If so, what is the major diameter of the threads? What is the major diameter of the Winchester thread? Due to the difference in head diameter between the two cartridges there is a possibility that the Winchester threads can be turned off and the shank re-threaded for the rolling block thread. However, for the same reason, doing that may very well result in a barrel shank too small for the 25-35. You may find it necessary to cut the chamber portion of the Winchester barrel off and chamber it to 25-20 instead. I would recommend you sell the Winchester barrel and have the rolling block lined to 38 S&W Special and load it to 360 ballistics.

Brent, it looks like you are correct on Tracks being made by TJ’s. I thought they were Redmonds. All the liners I see are to the same specs that TJ’s shows in their lists, and track says they are hammer forged. Thanks for the heads up because it looks like they have in stock what I need.

If you are a handloader, dont forget the 32 S&W long or 32 H&R mag. They are great little rook calibers.

If it’s questionable with 25-35, I’d opt for 25-20 next.
